This weekend, I was out of town to spend a weekend in San Diego with my college friends and sorority sisters for my bachelorette party.

They surprised me with a beachside weekend getaway with some rest & relaxation at a beach resort and spoiled me with a spa treatment.

What our hotel room beach house looked like before it was turned into a bachelorette party central at night.

After a day spent at the pool and frolicking at the beach, we had dinner in a private cabana. Everyone looked pretty in pink in their pink and black themed outfits.

After dinner, we headed downtown, played fun bachelorette games and danced the night away 🙂

Hopefully my friends will share their pictures soon so I can post more.

I had a great time with my friends and enjoyed partying with them one last time before the wedding. My single friends, my married friends, friends who are expecting or have babies at home…they all came out to celebrate and that meant a lot to me. Thank you so much girls.

On Sunday we went to a crepes place for breakfast.

Instead of a regular crepes, I ordered buckwheat crepes with pesto sauce. It was filled with chicken, cheese and plenty of veggies.

Normally I eat every 2-3 hours, but this dish kept hunger away for 6 hours. I didn’t eat again until after our drive back home and a long nap.

I also found this huge Nutella container. Biggest. Ever.

Unfortunately I didn’t have any room to have another serving of crepes. I would have loved to eat a sweet, Nutella filled chocolaty crepes with coconut toppings. It tasted so good in my head, but my stomach won and said it was too full.

Now I’m off to catch up and finally get to my emails/messages from the last week.

wow! What a party. The location looks gorgeous and I love all of your outfits!!! I don’t think I’ve ever actually had a crepe, but now I want one 🙂 And Josh would have stolen that giant container of nutella! Have a good week

Crepes are fun to eat but they don’t keep me full because they are literally just really thin pancakes but can be folded and filled with whatever you want. The buckwheat crepes were hearty and kept me full for a long time. I would have taken the container too but it was empty 😦

Nutella!!!! I just made Nutella rice krispie treats! Gah! Looks like a fab party, chica. I’m so in wedding mode. My friends had my hubs & I play dress up for a wedding shoot for their photography blog. So fun! Make sure you live in the moment on the big day!!!

Glad you made time to travel this weekend, we had gorgeous weather in SD and I’m sure it was the same up north.

I’ve heard of this place before and actually saw it on TV too. What a cool place huh? Chris and I have made coastal drive a few times and last time we did Hearst Castle/Solvang/Monterey route and would love to add this next time we do a long drive again.

Ellie, thanks for stopping by. Congratulations on your recent engagement. Time will fly by so fast, I’m on my last 30 days of planning and wish I can slow things down a little bit. But I’ve remembered to enjoy each step of the planning and made sure I documented them so I can go back some day and see what the last 9 months was like.
